    A retiring collection will be taken to support our

    local NHS "Love Your Hospital" charity.

In March 2020, when the first Coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown came into effect in the UK, all of our concerts were put on hold (including Carmina Burana scheduled for the weekend after lockdown measures were announced!).  No one knew, at the time, that this would be for a total of 18 months.  The choir though continued their weekly rehearsals virtually at home via the Internet until we were able to meet in person again in September 2021.
